It's perceptible from all of our childhood comic book heros like Superman, Superwoman and the X-Men, that we all wish to have powers and become perfect humans, just like these superhuman caricatures.
Yet, the only reason we don't believe it's possible to become a Superman or a Superwoman is because we THINK there's something INHERENTLY WRONG with us which we spend our entire lives trying to FIX, either through worldly activities like parties, drinking, drugs, or even through spiritual activities like meditation, yoga, prayer. The side-effects perhaps different but the disease is as is - the disease of trying to fix ourselves constantly so to feel 'OK' or 'normal' again.
We lead ourselves to believe that, "course we have to fix ourselves, because nobody is perfect!" and "we all have weaknesses, emotions and habits which we cannot overcome". Both of these are consists to believe.
The truth is very hard to accept: each of us are already exactas we're, without needing to change a single thing about ourselves
It's among those lovely paradoxical situations where as soon as you truly, whole heartedly accept and accept this above statement, then suddenly you'll find yourself transform in an instant. The things which you thought were weaknesses or things you needed to change, automatically are transformed and no more become limitations in your character - often they transform into your greatest strengths.
Accepting this statement TRULY does also produce to powers inside of you which shall help you in your path.
Stop trying to fix yourself through ANY means - only a person who's sick tries to fix themselves. A person who's healthy has no need for a fix, they already know they're healthy and need no medicine. Often the trap 'spiritual' people fall under is using meditation or yoga or prayer to fix themselves - then again they're no different to the alcoholics, junkies or socialites all who are trying to fix themselves because they think something is wrong which they must bring into balance.
Read this meditative poem:
You're perfect as you're even with all of your biological needs for food and sex
You're perfect as you're even with all of your emotional needs for having people around you, for wanting to feel loved, for feeling that your are somebody significant
You're perfect as you're even with all of your intimate trusts, anger, greed, attachment and ego, there has nothing wrong with any of these emotions
You're perfect as you're even with all of those 'bad' habits which you cannot seem to break
You're perfect as you're even with all of your insecurities, fears and challenges
You're perfect as you're even with all of your imbalances, diseases and illnesses
You're perfect as you're even with all of your unluckiness, untidiness and ugliness
You're perfect as you're even with all of your complaints, criticisms and blocks
